Abstract:
Introduction: This study is related to the mental disturbance and illness among patients. Patients who suffer from mental stress and illness, and they were visiting hospitals from their childhood till adulthood. When these children turn to adulthood, they check their mental level and measure all basic requirements.

They perform multiple tasks and get several types of treatment.
Results: In this study, they note down the changes in their mental health at the time or childhood and when they shifted from childhood to adulthood. They conduct interviews to check their psychiatry. They collect results on the basis of different points as they are adults in age but do not have abilities and behavior like adults. They were not able to move everywhere as normal people move and walk. They were afraid to handle their environmental issues.
Conclusions: Their caretaker should facilitate them with different processes of their changing behavior and transitions. It is necessary for their relatives to involve themselves in the programs where patients feel free and relax. In this way, they will get better results and it will help them to reduce their mental retardation and illness. People should get proper knowledge related to these transitions.
